Club d'Elf - You Never Know

"You Never Know" is a trance-heavy meditation on finding light amidst the shadows. The band pay tribute to the music and musicians who have been heavy influences, with half the album being covers of Gnawa (trance music from North Africa), Miles Davis, Joe Zawinul, Moroccan band Nass el-Ghiwane, and Frank Zappa. The other half consists of original music inspired by leader Mike Rivard's personal journey into darkness following a near death experience in the remote jungle of the Peruvian Amazon.



Sessions were recorded live to analog tape in the studio with minimal overdubbing, with the result being the closest feeling of the band's legendary live performances than any of it's preceding fifteen releases
